Christian Pumpkin



I am a Jack O' Lantern
My light will shine so bright
For I am a Christian Pumpkin
My symbols tell what's right.

My Nose is like the cross
on which on Savior died
To set us Free from Sin
We need no longer hide.

My Mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show
That Christians live in this House
And Love their Savior so!

The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from far

My color it is Orange
Just like the big bright Sun
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own Son.

And so on Halloween
Let's set our Pumpkins out
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's LOVE is all about!

Was down to 35 early this morning. Supposed to rise to 70 today(fingers are crossed) then the low 40's the rest of the week.

The state fair is in town and it seems that we always have our first really cold weather when it appears. Living in the low country, we don't have that many trees that turn. It seems that everything including the Oaks want to stay green all year!

There are some that are turning though, just enough color to let us know that winter is on the way!!

[dixie sass]

Oh Julie, that is to precious!

I love the cat as the fish and the one with the Charlie Chaplin look.

Good morning!

Let's Take A Break

Read:
Luke 9:1-10

Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while. —Mark 6:31

Bible In One Year: Luke 7-9

According to tradition, when the apostle John was overseer in Ephesus, his hobby was raising pigeons. It is said that on one occasion another elder passed his house as he returned from hunting and saw John playing with one of his birds. The man gently chided him for spending his time so frivolously.

John looked at the hunter's bow and remarked that the string was loose. "Yes," said the elder, "I always loosen the string of my bow when it's not in use. If it stayed tight, it would lose its resilience and fail me in the hunt."

John responded, "And I am now relaxing the bow of my mind so that I may be better able to shoot the arrows of divine truth."

We cannot do our best work with nerves taut or frayed from constant pressure. When Jesus' disciples returned from a strenuous preaching mission, their Master recognized their need for rest and invited them to come with Him to a quiet place where they could be refreshed (Mark 6:31).

Hobbies, vacations, and wholesome recreation are vital to a well-balanced, godly life. We lose our effectiveness by keeping our lives so tightly strung that we are always tense. If it seems we can't relax, Jesus may be inviting us to take a break—to "come aside . . . and rest a while." —Dennis De Haan

If our body, soul, and spirit
Are to function at their best,
Time is needed for renewal,
Time for leisure, time for rest. —D. De Haan

If Christians do not come apart and rest a while, they may just plain come apart!

He came into His own
A man among the masses;
A man who gave them answers
That they had never known.

A man who asked for nothing
But that they loved their brother
He bought them for a ransom
That He could pay alone.

He walked the dusty roads
They broke bread with Living Water
He told them if they came to Him
They'd never be alone.

He said His Father's house
Was made of many mansions,
And when He came again
He'd come to take them home.

He told them many stories
The answers to the prophets.
He healed the crippled and the lame;
Blinded eyes were lit.

He said he came that they might live
And come to know the Father.
In those final moments
Justice and mercy kissed.

Heaven opened up its doors;
God came and lived among us.
He said that He was the only way
If they would hear his voice.
Heaven opened up its doors;
A child was given to us.
Never again---shackled by sin
But every man would make his choice.

Hi Dolly,
I have to do that today as well. I have some Cannas and Dahlias to pull out and the dreaded mulching to do. :)

I've never been able to download more comments than 20 at a time even when I tried to make it 50. It never would change. The changes won't affect me at all. LOL:)
